Title: Re: ShopTalk: Steel Reshaft-Arnie

Perhaps this has been suggested before, but while I was reading this thread the idea of freezing or quickly cooling the hosel area on these stubborn pull outs might help??  I'm no engineer or metallurgist but it seems to the cold would cause the metals to contract and the shaft having less material may contract quicker than the metal hosel on an iron.  Perhaps this might help to break down the contact between to the two pieces.  From my understanding the heat is simply used to break down the epoxy bound, but it would also cause the metals to expand.   I don't know how you would do this quickly, safely and economically.  Perhaps it's just a silly idea\ with no real merit?   Nick T.
